摘要
衰老的过程会改变人的身体平衡,并可能引发对摔倒的恐惧。这项研究的目的是根据对摔倒的恐惧程度的不同,比较和验证评估锻炼的老年人身体平衡的不同方法之间的相关性。样本由186名运动个体(68.28±6岁)组成。平衡评估使用计时起身和走,单脚站立,坐-起和功能到达测试。一个关于害怕摔倒的问题以面试的形式出现。统计分析采用Spearman和Kruskall Wallis相关。结果:time Up and Go(7.13±1.6s)、单脚站立(20.52±9.9s)、坐起(12.43±3.2s)和功能延伸(29.51±6.5)与跌倒恐惧有显著相关。与不害怕摔倒的人相比,不害怕摔倒的人表现出更好的平衡能力。总之,更好的平衡能力有助于减少对摔倒的恐惧。
Balance in seniors who exercise, considering different levels of fear of falling
The aging process brings changes to one’s body balance and may trigger a fear of falling. The aim of this study was to compare and verify correlation between different methods that assess body balance among elderly individuals who exercise, according to different levels of fear of falling. The sample was composed of 186 individuals (68.28±6.years) who exercise. Balance assessment used Timed Up and Go, Unipedal Stance, Sitting-Rising and Functional Reach tests. A question about fear of falling was applied in the form of an interview. Statistical analysis used Spearman and Kruskall Wallis correlation. In results, Timed Up and Go (7.13±1.6s), Unipedal Stance (20.52±9.9s), Sitting-Rising (12.43s±3.2s) and Functional Reach (29.51±6.5) showed significant correlation with fear of falling. Individuals less afraid of falling showed better balance performance when compared to those not afraid of falling. In conclusion, b etter balance performance can contribute to decreasing fear of falling.
